Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my new package "psi-plus-i18n".

* Package name    : psi-plus-i18n
* URL             : https://github.com/tehnick/psi-plus-i18n
* License         : GPL-2+
  Description     : translation files for Psi+

It builds one binary package:
  psi-plus-i18n - translation files for Psi+

The package is lintian-clean. I always check [1] using:
  lintian -ivIE --pedantic *.changes

You can look at package rules here:
  https://github.com/tehnick/psi-plus-i18n-debian/tree/master/debian/

Some information about this package can be found here:
  http://mentors.debian.net/package/psi-plus-i18n

Direct link for download:
  http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/psi-plus-i18n/psi-plus-i18n_0.15.5333.2-1.dsc

There was no translations for Psi+ program except Russian translation.
So I made a special repository with translation files and invited
translators for other languages. There are 29 translations now and
12 of them are completed more than 50%.

More information about project can be obtained here:
  https://github.com/tehnick/psi-plus-i18n

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Best regards,
Boris

Hi Boris,

Yes, I don't do that a lot, but this one seems simple enough for me (and
given the initial good shape, I hope to get rid of it pretty soon by
using the new dm-allow thingie if you don't become a DD quickly enough ;).

That's not its main purpose, but there are for sure i18n-friendly people
there.

Isn't the generated tarball built from the same files always the same?
It totally fails to provide a reliable (as in cryptographic) way to make
sure the downloaded upstream tarball is what one could expect.
You should at least consider signing the tags in the Git repository.
(And no, including a corrupted l10n upstream package hosted in a well
known place is really not a theoretical nightmare [0].)

This concern should be addressed upstream (the upstream host provider).

Some more remarks:
“Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.6~)” seems pointless: it can only help on
*upgrade* for some derivatives, but is of no use since the package is
not already present in those derivatives.
Conflicts, Replaces and Provides psi-plus-i18n too since this package
had not yet been distributed. Of course, if the package has already been
distributed elsewhere, those two remarks won't stand.

> Package was updated. Could you check and upload it?

Done, thanks for your work.

Regards

David
